EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
This explanatory statement contains the requisite information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules. Its purpose is to provide Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 1,775,804,661 Shares of HK$0.10 each.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or bought back prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 177,580,466 Shares, being 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting during the period ending on the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held under the applicable laws or the Articles of Association; and (c) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACKS
The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such buy-backs when they believe that such buy-backs would benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS
In making buy-backs, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Memorandum, Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange in effect from time to time.
As compared with the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2015 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital position but not on the gearing position of the Company in the event that buy-backs of all the Shares, the subject of the Buy-back Mandate, were to be carried out in full at any time. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as could, in the circumstance, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
4. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders, to sell their Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
No core connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the proposed resolution in respect of the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Cayman Islands, Memorandum and Articles.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung, as the controlling Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested in 693,629,000 Shares, representing approximately 39.06% of the issued Shares, held directly by Global Universe International Holdings Limited. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back the Shares under the Buy-back Mandate, the attributable shareholding of Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung in the Company would be increased by 2% to approximately 43.4% of the issued share capital of the Company. In this regard, Mr. Wong, together with any party(ies) acting in concert with him, will be under an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
